[quote=Anonymous]I would lean towards putting the amount of detail in a fixed-price contract to guarantee that you'll get what you want within your budget. When I say amount of detail, I mean things like 18 gauge sink, the specific faucet, hardwood cabinets with all-wood frames and boxes, caesarstone brand countertop, etc. that way the contractor doesn't substitute quality. Then, you get more than one quote with those specifications and compare. Get references. If you want to nickel and dime (which with contractors, they will figure out all sorts of creative ways to make their money), you might as well be your own general contractor and get the sub quotes yourself. The point being, know exactly what you want ahead of time and that will get you the best deal with contractors.[/quote]
